Shirley: une histoire de pensionnat indien

By Joanne Robertson

Historical biography, Women biography, Indigenous peoples in Canada

Human-narrated audio

Summary

Shirley n'a que cinq ans quand l'agent des Indiens l'emmène vivre dans un pensionnat autochtone. Elle adore apprendre, mais elle n'est pas là de son propre gré. Dès le premier jour où elle gravit la longue volée de marches en… pierre de l'école, la vie est difficile et les règles sont innombrables. Séparée de ses frères et sœurs, elle est livrée à elle-même. Shirley est très courageuse, mais elle n'a personne pour la rassurer le soir quand elle a peur. Personne pour la border et la réconforter. Shirley tient bon malgré sa tristesse. Elle se fait des amis et vit des aventures. Et surtout, elle attend impatiemment l'été, car elle pourra alors retrouver sa famille et le bonheur d'être à la maison.
